Operating the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV:
Most of the console functions and controls are easy and intuitive. Over the next few pages there are details on
how the different functions operate.
Camera Controls:
The controls that can be used to adjust a PTZ
camera are highlighted in the diagram to the right
(mechanical functions are in gray, and electronic
in blue). See notes below for additional
information.
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV is shipped with
“Select Follow Preview” as the default setting. In
this configuration, the camera that is selected on
the Preview bus will automatically choose the
appropriate Camera Select button in the upper
right corner. In this example, Input 1 is a PTZ
camera on the Preview bus and the Camera
Select is illuminated on Input 1 (“1” with a circle
around the number).
3-Axis Hall Effect Joystick: Within the menus, the 3-axis joystick is programmable for pan, tilt and zoom
direction control. The zoom-in/zoom-out, tilt-up/tilt-down and pan-left/pan-right commands can be inverted on all
3-axis to customize control of the PTZ cameras attached to ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV. Pan, tilt and zoom
speeds can be adjusted on controls above the joystick. The PTZ speeds are set on a per camera basis. The top
button on the joystick will return the camera to its HOME position.
Preset Location Storage Options: This feature allows the user to store 12 camera presets in the
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV or have the option of storing 6 camera presets (1 through 6) in the camera and 6
presets (7 through 12) in the ProductionVIEW HD MV. When storing the presets in the camera, the user is
allowed to speed switch camera presets. Please see the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV Menu Structure, System
Menu for access to the Preset location parameter.
Setting the Camera Presets: To program a PTZ camera preset, press and hold the Camera Select button for
three (3) seconds. The Camera Preset button (1 thru 12) will begin to flash. Move the camera to the desired PTZ
position, and select one of the Camera Presets buttons to store the position. Repeat the process for each preset
position that is required to be stored, up to 12 total positions per PTZ camera. A non-flashing preset button has a
location stored, but can be overwritten.
Select Follows Preview: When “Select Follows Preview” is activated, the camera selected for control is the
camera selected by the Preview bus selection. The operator selects the camera to be previewed, and control
(joystick and camera control) is transferred to that camera. The default position for this feature from the factory is
‘on’. Note: Select Follows Preview is disabled when the system is set for Dual Bus mode.
Focus, Iris, Auto White Balance and Backlight Compensation: When the Auto Focus or Auto Iris buttons are
turned off, the manual focus and iris knobs can be used to adjust these functions on compatible PTZ cameras that
are connected to the system. Auto White Balance (AWB) automatically adjusts the camera’s color settings based
on lighting and other factors. Backlight Compensation (BLC) opens the iris to allow objects in front of windows
and other bright backgrounds to be more visible.
NOTES:
1) Local Camera Presets (Local Mode): Local Mode contains all the camera information that has been set and saved in the
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV: Pan/Tilt/Zoom position including brightness, focus, backlight, zoom speed etc. There are 12
Local Presets available for each camera in this mode.
In Camera Presets (6 InCam 6 Local Mode): The 6-In Camera Presets are saved in the camera memory if applicable. Not
all cameras can store internal presets in this mode. These presets are limited primarily to the Pan/Tilt/Zoom position. The
6-Local Camera Presets include the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI MV settings.
2) The particular control saved under each camera preset is a function of the parameters available on the camera only.
3) Camera presets will not save specific settings of a Quick-Connect CCU.
4) Backlight Compensation can only be used when the Auto White Balance is turned on.
5) Auto White Balance will not operate with the Panasonic AW-HE100, as well as the WallVIEW HE100 cameras.
